Adaptation of Commonwealth Fisheries Management to Climate Change
A handbook to guide fisheries adaptation to climate change
Seasonal to Decadal Prediction of Marine Ecosystems: Opportunities, Approaches, and Applications
Tremendous advances in oceanographic observing and modeling systems over the last decade have led to unprecedented developments in the nature of information available to marine science. While improvements in observational technologies and networks have garnered much attention, remarkable developments in forecasting the ocean have received much less focus. Exploiting this new predictive skill to improve scientific understanding, generate advice and aid in the management of marine resources, is emerging as one of the new challenges of marine science. Translating predictions of the physical environment into biological outcomes, however, is not straightforward. Fisheries scientists, for example,...
Tagging and Tracking of Marine Animals with Electronic Devices
The 2nd international tagging and tracking symposium was held in San Sebastian, Spain, in October 2007, seven years after the first symposium was held in Hawaii in 2000 (Sibert and Nielsen 2001). In the intervening seven years, there have been major advances in both the capability and reliability of electronic tags and analytical approaches for geolocation of tagged animals in marine habitats. Advances such as increased data storage capacity, sensor development, and tag miniaturization have allowed researchers to track a much wider array of marine animals, not just large and charismatic species. Importantly, data returned by these tags are now being used in population analyses and movement s...
Developing Adaptation Options for Seabirds and Marine Mammals Impacted by Climate Change
This project has increased connectedness between seabird and marine mammal researchers, managers and policy makers about the range of climate impacts that are already being experienced by these iconic taxa in Australian waters. Through workshops and collaborative analyses, we have increased the state of knowledge for Australia's iconic marine species, and demonstrated, through publications, a range of analytical approaches for discerning climate impacts, and in some cases resolving these impacts from non-climate drivers, such as bycatch in fisheries, or competition from similar species. The range of adaptation options that could be used to respond to climate-related threats to seabirds and mammals has also raised awareness amongst managers and researchers, and shifted thinking towards active intervention. Preliminary project results have been welcomed by managers at state agencies, particularly the tools developed to prioritise adaptation options. This project provides a solid foundation for testing of adaptation options, with tools to evaluate likely success, institutional barriers to success, and likely social acceptance of different adaptation options.
Climate Change Impacts on Fisheries and Aquaculture, 2 Volumes
The first comprehensive review of the current and future effects of climate change on the world’s fisheries and aquaculture operations The first book of its kind, Climate Change Impacts on Fisheries and Aquaculture explores the impacts of climate change on global fisheries resources and on marine aquaculture. It also offers expert suggestions on possible adaptations to reduce those impacts. The world's climate is changing more rapidly than scientists had envisioned just a few years ago, and the potential impact of climate change on world food production is quite alarming. Nowhere is the sense of alarm more keenly felt than among those who study the warming of the world's oceans. Evidence o...
Marine Protected Areas
Human-induced environmental disturbance – through fishery activities, coastal development, tourism and pollution – is a major challenge to the restoration and conservation of marine biodiversity. Synthesizing the latest research into marine biodiversity conservation and fisheries management, this book provides regional and global perspectives on the role of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) in confronting this challenge. The approach is multidisciplinary, covering all the fields involved in designating and assessing MPAs: ecology, fisheries science, statistics, economics, sociology and genetics. The book is structured around key topics, including threats to marine ecosystems and resources, the effects and effectiveness of MPAs and the scaling-up of MPA systems. Both theoretical and empirical approaches are considered. Recognizing the diversity of MPA sciences, the book also includes one part designed specifically as a practical guide to implementing scientific assessment studies of MPAs and monitoring programs.
